Sobelman's Bloody Mary crowned with burger gets attention

Even in Milwaukee, the home of the outrageous Bloody Mary garnish, topping a Bloody Mary with a mini cheeseburger will get you noticed.

Dave Sobelman decided about a month ago to add a slider to the garnishes on the Bloody ($9) at his Sobelman's Pub & Grill, 1900 W. St. Paul Ave. It's skewered along with a chilled shrimp, celery, bacon, sausage and various pickled vegetables.

Monday, an article about it appeared on the website of the Daily Mail, the British tabloid. Tonight, a segment about it is expected to air on WISN-TV (Channel 12), on the 10 p.m. news. And ABC's "Good Morning America" is expected to feature the drink -- called the "Bloody Masterpiece" -- Wednesday morning, said Steve Schumacher, the pub's social media manager. Sobelman is scheduled to be on "GMA Live," the show's online version, shortly after 8 a.m.
